Heage Windmill Derbyshire

OUR WINDMILL REOPENS THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 3rd WITH THE OFFICIAL OPENING ON SATURDAY APRIL 4th AT 12 NOON

Performing the official opening will be one of the most important figures in the restoration of our windmill back in 2002: John Boucher (pictured above). John was Project Manager for the Trust and also acted as the consultant millwright. To read more about John, click here.

The windmill will be open during 2015 (11-00am to 4-00pm) every weekend from Good Friday April 3rd until the end of October.
